Which type of living organisms given below are listed in Red Data Book”? Rare species Rare and endangered species Endangered species None of these
Correct option is C) The International Union for Conservation of Nature is an international organization which works in the area of the conservation of nature and sustainable use of natural resources. The Red Book is a state document which is established for documenting rare and endangered species of animals, plants, and fungi, as well as some local subspecies. The species (including animals, plants, fungi, etc.) which are vulnerable to endangerment in the near future are known as threatened species. IUCN treats threatened species as a group of three categories, depending on the degree relative to which they are threatened. Those categories are Vulnerable species; Endangered species and Critically endangered species. So, the correct answer is 'List of threatened species'.
